Okay this is going to sound heartless, why do people constantly start petitions to get authors, movie makers and such do what they want? This petition is wrong because like so many people have stated it leaves JK in a position where people will think badly of her if she refuses the petition. I'm sure this boy was very brave and very talented (I've never heard of him til now, but will look him up) I feel for his family. What I find really tragic is how so many of his family died from this disease. But there are so many children and people who bravely face diseases that are fatal to them, and they are all special.
